In a Skipton Armchair

An armchair activist's view of the political campaigns to the left (Skipton) and to the right (Keighley). From a LibDem supporter who really should get out of this armchair and help them out. I wasn't planning to update this, but then there's as much reason as ever to continue the tales on the build up to the 2009/2010 election.

Conservative election broadcast

I had a holiday in Australia last year, coincidentally during the final build up to their election where John Howard beat someone.

It was interesting to see the Conservative election broadcast tonight as it was virtually copied from the main advert that the same election mastermind organised for the Australian campaign.

Over there you are guarranteed in every advert break to have one or two for both of the major parties. In John Howard's case, you would see a (not very pleasant looking) photo of the opposition, what he said he would do, a newspaper clipping of what someone thought of what he did and then the alternative of what would happen under the "good guys"
